What is going on with Nancy Pelosi? Clearly she is having some mental issues and yet they keep rolling her out! During her weekly press conference Thursday, House Minority Leader’s train of thought seemed to ran out of gas … 16 times. She appeared to have a jaw problem that seemed to impact her speech suffering at least two brain freezes and totally garbled words.

Congratulating the astroturf groups organizing against the tax plan, she said, “All over the country we’re having, uh, tax scam — the tax march…”

Claiming the tax plan is bad for some states, Pelosi said, “What does this mean to your state? In Arizona, in Texas, in Illinois, in Florida, in New York, in Massachusetts, in California — did I say California more than once? It’s a big state.”

She said “California” only once.

“House Re, uh, Democrats introduced H.R. 5-oh– Fifty-eleven,” she said about a bill she nearly claimed was brought by Republicans.

Riffing on Republicans, Pelosi said, “You have to ask yourself, why would they not want to protect the integrity of our elections? That’s so fundamental. Everybody cares about that,” she said, gazing off, before realizing she was off her script.

Riffling through papers, she continued, “Well…in any case, uh, uh, onto for (unintelligible) I’ve called on the administration of both parties— oh, I wanted to just say another thing here,” she said, confusing herself and riffling through more papers. “This week we had,” she said before trailing off, seemingly groping for words.

While discussing the bank bill, she suffered a brain freeze.

“There’s some features that you might say how do we help community— uh, community banks. How do we help, um, S, um, um—” she attempted to continue. “Raise that number, I think that number could be raised,” she finally said, her words again aligning with her brain.
